Spring is one of my favourite seasons and I just love it at the moment seeing all the daffodils, crocus and hyacinths in bloom and the trees in full blossom. When I saw the new Blossom Branches on Create & Craft I knew that I wanted to use them to make a card from my Brothers and I for a very special lady indeed 'Our Mum'. I have also used the Blue Tits & Bird Feeder for that spring time feeling, are we really changing the clocks tonight?

I stamped the images on Theuva card using a black soot DI and coloured them in using a variety of Pro-marker and Spectrum Noir pens. I used the 'Our' and 'Special' words from the new word chains and made up the word 'Mum' by partially inking up letters from other words.

The background of the card has then had a light dusting over with the stencil brush using a cloudy blue Adirondack ink pad.

This was then matted and layered onto lilac card and a cream scalloped base card.

My Brothers really like it and I know that Mum will too.

Thanks for taking the time to look, I hope you like it and any feedback would be much appreciated.

About Me

Hi My name is Julie Rose, I have always been interested in arts and crafts and have dabbled in many different things over the years but have finally found my niche in card making. I first started card making for my family and friends in 2010 after it cost a small fortune to buy my Christmas cards from a well known High Street store. Naive of me I know, but I thought I can make my own cards for far less (little did I know that it would become a bit of an obsession and as crafters you know what it's like, there's always something else that we 'need'). I really like the fact that each card is a little piece of artwork and to see the enjoyment that they bring to others is wonderful. I wouldn't have missed it for the world to see how thrilled my niece was to have a Birthday card with her name on it when the spelling is unusual. Making cards has become a much loved hobby, I have learnt so many new techniques and have just recently attended some workshops that were thoroughly enjoyable. One thing that I enjoy the most is to see and share inspiration with all my crafting buddies both in person and on Facebook. If anyone sees something that they like please don't hesitate to contact me.
